Install Matlab on Linux

This procedure works for Matlab on most Linux systems including Ubuntu and RHEL.

Extract all files from the Matlab installer archive, and run (without sudo)

./install

Install Matlab under “/home/username/.local/” since Matlab is tied to the Linux username anyway. The user will have problems updating Matlab or installing Add-On Toolboxes if Matlab is installed outside the user home directory. Install Symbolic Links to “/home/username/.local/bin/” when asked by the GUI.

Add to the user ~/.profile:

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin

Optional: Add links in desktop menu

Matlab can be started from Terminal:

matlab

It’s best to run non-interactive Matlab jobs (including CI) like

matlab -batch myscript

NOTE: A GUI is required for normal install

If installing Matlab remotely over SSH, use any one of:

If “click here” isn’t working for individual site license, try dragging the “click here” to the web browser address bar.

If getting error:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  Unable to launch the MATLABWindow application

try removing libcrypto.so.1.1 under the Matlab install folder “bin/glnxa64/” and ./install again.
